And what do you suppose the wingnuts over at Conservapedia have to say about Atheism?

In regards to atheism and morality, the Barna Group also found that those who hold to the worldviews of atheism or agnosticism in America were more likely, than theists in America, to look upon the following behaviors as morally acceptable: illegal drug use; excessive drinking; sexual relationships outside of marriage; abortion; cohabitating with someone of opposite sex outside of marriage; obscene language; gambling; pornography and obscene sexual behavior; and engaging in homosexuality/bisexuality. ^[44] Given the many diseases associated with homosexuality, the Bible prohibition against homosexuality is quite arguably one of the many examples where the Bible exhibited knowledge that was ahead of its time.

Sex, drugs, and alcohol? These are few of my faaavorite things!

Let’s say you’re the son of professional hater Phyllis Schlafly.  You do a little lawyering, you teach a few home-schooled kids “history”, but you want more.  As a wingnut of the first order, you see “liberal bias” everywhere, especially Wikipedia.  Ignoring the fact that the truth has a liberal bias, you decide you must do something.  Aha! you say.  I will invent Conservapedia!

As you may have surmised, Conservapedia is a neverending source of amusement (and posts) for us libtard bloggers.  From entries on dinosaurs (who lived at the same time as the cavemen, natch) to teh gayz (of course you weren’t born that way) the fun never stops.  But let’s just ease you into this by examining the Conservapedia entry for Barry Hussein, shall we?

"What Not to Wear" to your daughter's bat mitzvah.

Okay, I seriously have nothing more to say about her.

Habeas Corpus

The United States Constitution enshrines the right in Article I, Section 9, the Suspension Clause, which outlines under which highly specified conditions the Writ may be suspended.^[1] While the Writ is not specifically granted to United States citizens, the Founders intended, and the Supreme Court agrees, that it was not explicitly mentioned because it was not perceived as necessary, the Writ being so fundamental to even British^[2] government at the time of the Founding.

United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez disagrees with the Supreme Court on this issue, believing that there is no expressed grant of habeas corpus in the Constitution.^[3]

At his presser today, Gonzo took full responsibility for the federal prosecutor purge, but not the blame.  How much longer do you think this great legal mind can hang on to his job?

It's like crack:

Jeremy Bentham

Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was an English atheistic philosopher who created the concept of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism means that government should do whatever maximizes overall "utility" (benefits minus costs). If killing one innocent man saves ten other lives, then utilitarianism would favor it. Under utilitarianism there is no Christian morality, and it is replaced by comparing benefits versus costs. Under this view government should experiment on embryonic stem cells today if benefits are greater than costs.

Fair and balanced - that's Conservapedia!

If it's not a parody, it's yet another sign our society is in rapid decline:

Stone Age

The Stone age is the prehistoric time before the Age of Metal.  It is divided into two parts; Paleolithic and Neolithic. During the Paleolithic age, man harvested wild plants and animals for food. Agriculture began in the Neolithic age. The dates of the Stone age are debated. Biased historians often give older dates than can be proven by archaeology.

Damn those biased historians!  There were too dinosaurs on Noah's Ark!
